The obligated amount is $21.2 million.
What is the period of performance?

What specific maintenance tasks are included in this contract, and how do they align with industry standards for family housing facilities?
The contract specifies 'MAINT/FAMILY HOUSING FACILITIES.' This likely includes routine maintenance, repairs, preventative care, and potentially minor upgrades for residential buildings and associated grounds. A detailed review of the Performance Work Statement (PWS) would be required to confirm the scope and compare it against established industry benchmarks for facilities management to ensure comprehensive and cost-effective service delivery.
Given the limited competition, what steps were taken to ensure the government received fair market value for the services rendered?
The contract utilized 'FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION AFTER EXCLUSION OF SOURCES.' While this implies some level of competition, it's crucial to understand the justification for excluding other sources. The government should have conducted thorough market research and potentially used techniques like price analysis or cost analysis to validate the proposed price against independent estimates or historical data for similar services.
How will the long duration and fixed-price nature of this contract impact the government's ability to adapt to changing needs or unforeseen issues in housing maintenance?
A fixed-price contract with a long duration (4 years) provides cost certainty but offers less flexibility. If unforeseen maintenance issues arise or the scope of work needs to change significantly, modifications to the contract would be necessary, potentially leading to price adjustments. The government's ability to adapt is limited unless specific clauses for change orders or contingency planning are well-defined within the contract.
